Note: the figure can be changed at the whim of the caller so that various numbers of dancers are called forward and back, first explaining that the directions "forward" and "back" are defined by the facing direction of the line of four. So, for example, the caller could say:

Forward six and fall back eight,

forward eight and fall back four,

forward four and ball back six,

etc.

Let your imagination run to give the dancers variation and challenge with this simple figure.
